If you find that the wood is rotted-out after removing the roofing material, you must determine the extent of the damage to see how much needs to be replaced. The interviewer wants to know if you understand the importance of identifying and replacing rotted-out wood before replacing the roofing material. Describe what you would do in this situation.

When responding, avoid saying that you would not address the rotten wood and replace new roofing material over the rotted-out wood. If you do not address the issue, it will cause further problems for the client down the road and is unprofessional as a Roofer.

"When I am doing a roofing repair or replacement and notice rotted-out wood, I remove all of the roofing material so I can identify the extent of the damage. Once I determine the extent of damage, I can give the company an estimate for the cost of repairs to present to the client."
